I was thinking about live-bootstrap and Rick Master's kernel: 
https://github.com/ironmeld/builder-hex0
This is an x86 kernel. It's actually multi-stage and first part is kind of baremetal form of hex0
that uses BIOS calls for I/O. It can then load proper builder-hex0 which can take us all the way
to tcc and ext4 userspace tools that are used to build and boot into Fiwix kernel which is good enough
till we can bootstrap Linux.

I guess stage0-uefi is similar but it's just stage0, doesn't go beoynd that, we
haven't ported GNU Mes to UEFI.
